What pattern of inheritance would lead a geneticist to suspect that an inherited disorder of cell metabolism is due to a defecti

ve mitochondrial gene
Biology
1 answer:
Novay_Z [31]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

This disorder/disease is transmitted by the mother

Explanation:

In humans, mitochondria are inherited from the mother. This genetic phenomenon can be used to trace mitochondrial genetic disorders, as well as to make evolutionary/genealogical studies (for example, in phylogenetics and phylogeographic analysis). In mammal reproduction, male mitochondria from sperm are transferred into the egg cell to be subsequently destroyed by internal processes after fertilization.

In a biological reaction, succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of succinate to fumarate. The reaction is inhibited b
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

a. It is a competitive inhibitor.

Explanation:

A competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme. Binding of the competitive inhibitor to the active site of enzyme forms enzyme-inhibitor complex and does not allow the substrate to bind to the enzyme. This inhibits the reaction. However, the competitive inhibition is overcome by increasing the concentration of substrate around the enzyme to facilitate its binding to the enzyme's active site.

According to the given information, malonic acid competes with succinate for the active site of enzyme succinate dehydrogenase and inhibits the reaction. This inhibition is overcome by increasing the succinate concentration around the enzyme. This makes malonic acid a competitive inhibitor to succinate dehydrogenase.
